I lived in CA.
I owned an AK-47 and had 30 Round Magazines and a Bayonet.
CA decided it was an evil Assault Weapon and must be Registered.
I complied.
Later on I decided I didn’t like being on “the list”, so I sold it to an out of State Buyer (and made a tidy profit).
Then I went out and bought a “CA Legal” AR-15.
Then the CA Politicos decided that my “CA Legal” AR-15 was no longer CA Legal.
I moved to MS.
the AK and the AR are no more dangerous than any other semi automatic gun- their looks do NOT make them more deadly, more dangerous, more effective- A Person can fire a semi automatic pistol just as fast as they can fire one of those- This whole nonsense about them being ‘assault rifles’ is a lie- The legal definition of assault rifle is a dual fire gun- one that fires semi automatic, or single, and also automatic- assault rifles are selective fire weapons meant for war- semi automatics are not assault rifles no matter what they look like-
a Folding stock doesn’t make them more deadly, a silencer does not make them more deadly on impact, a tactical light does not make them more deadly, folding rests don’t make them more deadly- a barrel shroud doesn’t make them more deadly- none of those make them any more deadly than any other gun- they don’t make them more accurate- they don’t make them faster than any other semi automatic-
Yet, if democrats ever regain power- the first thing they are going to do is ban these guns, THEN go after EVERY type of semi automatic gun, both rifle and pistol- all because a tiny minority of sick people do sick things-
